Parasite Eve set for Japanese release

Parasite Eve made its playable debut in the Tokyo Game Show just
a few days before it is scheduled to be released in Japan.
Square's horror-RPG threatens to compete with the Resident
Evil series for control of the horror game genre.

According to
UGP Online editor Randy Nelson, covering the Tokyo Game
Show, Parasite Eve opens with the now-standard beautiful
CG rendered introduction, then puts the player into the shoes
of Aya Brae, New York City police detective.

Parasite Eve has been confirmed for U.S. release, although Square
is no longer hyping a simultaneous release for the U.S. and Japan,
as they did when the game was announced. It's expected to come
to the U.S. later this year.
